Fuck YES to all of this!! Abso-freaking-lutely. I love the leading with curiosity bit that you're practicing right now, and I *love* that you're choosing to share about it. I feel like as a society we don't share a lot of stories about transitions -- we tend to tell about endings, and beginnings, but not the muck that exists on either side of them. And I think that does us a major disservice, because the stories we tell become the little lights along our path through the dark. Without stories to guide us (either as cautionary tales or aspirational examples), it's easier to lose our way. Thank you for being willing to not know where you're going and still talk about it anyway -- the lights you're leaving help make the unknown that much less imposing. 🤗

“ I wasn’t depressed. Not especially.

But I was deeply and profoundly unhappy.”

I had that epiphany a little while ago and, while I’ve not made any major changes to my life yet, just the knowledge of that distinction is making me look at life and make decisions through a very different lens.

Good luck with what comes next.
